Next week it's "Rumble through the Jungle" in Louisville. Hoping for some cooler temps and less humidity.

Where is your team headed, UK Fanatic?

 

 

Off this week, and have two meets the following week at Mason County.

I agree, Clyde. I was surprised by the $4 to park. The inside bathroom had a line of at least 30 girls. Hope they all got to "go" before their race. I think the finish chute area was disorganized. It appeared that runner(s) could have slipped in front of others that finished before them while waiting for name and team to be recorded. No number bibs pinned on the runners, just sharpie numbers written on their skin.

Just things that could be improved on for next year. It's a beautiful area and nice location for a race. I did hear that the runners liked the course.

 

Agree about the chute area. It was especially disorganized as the first 50-60 runners finished in the boys varsity race! Perhaps its length should be extended.

I don't know for sure, but was told the course was a "little short". As in around 2.95miles total length. This may or may not be right and not sure how they came up with that distance. I imagine they get distances with a gps. I'm not sure how a course is measured. The regional is run at Ryle this year for that region. I take it they will run the same course.

Overall, if it is 2.95 mile, 3mile or 5K, the runners all run the same course.

 

I heard rumblings of this. I realize some courses may be "easy" which could lead to better times, but if you're trying to compare an athlete's time to his/her other meets, a shorter course could skew things a bit.
